Some of my favorite ships/current hyperfixations broken down to dynamics that I really love to see repeated...
I mean, grumpy/sunshine is always top tier, and can intersect with others-- a LOT of my ships have at least an aspect of this.
Best Friends to Lovers and Idiots to Lovers (one of my longest-loved ships could be both, with just a touch of being Star-Crossed, since the universe seems to be trying REALLY hard to kill one of them... and another of my favorite rarepairs is both, but with significantly less of the universe trying to kill anyone)
Saw a tumblr post t'other day about the dynamic between a character who's rooted to a fault and one who lacks any roots and realized that is one of my ships to a T.
And also just two people who are incredibly traumatized in ways that make them uniquely suited to understanding and supporting each other. It's catnip to me.
